Great Imagination

The diversity and scope of these stories is amazing. Many of them made me have to figure out the ending, which is fun.

Delightful

I enjoyed this collection of stories read by talented actors. Ironic and creepy with a bit of a Twilight Zone vibe for many. I usually like to stick with one actor, so I’m glad to have taken a chance on this one.

Thoroughly Enjoyable

This is my first Peter Lovesey book and the stories contained in it were delightful. The tales were intriguing and even funny. Some included the paranormal.

The narrators were a joy to listen to and brought each story to life. A very entertaining read.
